Topic: [ANN] Buried Keys (Read 6637 times)
If anyone has the address 1J2tddvD6hiw4Tm32C6DbmsQcxNsCxEjUm please contact me. I accidently added the bible answer private key to my active wallet and lost 45 BTC. If anyone has this address I ask you to pm me. Thanks.
If anyone knows mskwik, please have him/her contact me.
It seems these puzzles are too difficult to solve. This site will be redesigned in the near future. If the remaining puzzles are not solved by April 1, 2013, then the puzzles will be ended and the answers posted. The new design will be much different. I am still looking for a programmer to work with me. PM me if interested.
There are still two puzzles to be solved. Volunteers wanted to restyle the website. Interested parties PM me. I plan to completely redesign the game itself.
AHHH!!! I can't believe I missed this. My instructions are incomplete. When I said that modern spelling will be used, I meant only the questions, not the answers. The answers are as they appear in KJV 1611. I hope this did not throw anyone off. I will correct the intructions in bold.
I had already figured that out and was hoping that the only reason the bitcoins weren't claimed yet was that maybe I was the only one who figured it out. I suspect that others who have all the answers will quickly claim the reward now. We'll see.Well I had come up with answers a while back but never got them to work out together and had basically given up on it. So I just went back over my list and switched some 'u's and 'v's, added a few 'e's and out popped an answer.
Spoiler warning if you want to finish it yourself, couldn't find a style to black it out completely though:
carpenter cubite treasures pleasing delusion eleven fire boastings Dagon vnsearchable sharpe kniues pruning hookes dominion vapour perdition
Now if I could just figure out how to narrow down the answers in that crossword somewhat (I have found quite a few 6-letter places in Norway and towns in New Jersey with the right crossing letters)
Congratulations! It gives me hope to continue this idea and make it better.
Shall we exchange answers (and reasoning) for 3, 4, and 13, and 14 to see which of us is mistaken? Here are my hashes:
Hi Danny, good effort. I wont be putting any more time into it. Sorry that you lost it bc of my post about u's and v's.
Nicely done, mskwik.

. . . here I will post the sha256 hash of my answers so far, so that we can compare . . .
My answers differ from yours on numbers 3, 4, 12, 13, and 14. On number 12 I found that we spelled the same answer differently (changed my spelling and then the hash matched). That leaves 3, 4, 13, and 14 where we seem to have different answers.Additionally I still don't have the answers yet for 8 or 11.

For anyone else doing the Bible quiz, where are you getting the 1611 text? I've tried the following two:
http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/1611-Bible/
http://av1611.com/kjbp/kjv-bible-text/
However, the spellings are not quite the same between the two. Sometimes a "u" is written as a "v" and sometimes a "v" as a "u". Other times, they're the same. In one, a word might have an "e" appended to the end, in another version, there is no "e'. It would take too much effort to go through all possible combinations. What do you guys think is the "official" 1611 version?

One of them is the KJV 1611 version and one is a modern translation. Lest it be clear for thou to knoweth the difference. There are other copies online as well. Make sure of your answers by checking multiple sources to be sure. http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/1611-Bible/

Hi folks,
I've finally been let out of newbie "heaven".
I am interested in collaborating with others on this quiz (and obviously sharing the prize). If you PM me, I'll be more forthcoming about my answers, but here I will post the sha256 hash of my answers so far, so that we can compare. These are the answers to the Bible dig. I am using lowercase spellings for everything that I have. All answers contain only letters (even the one that asks for the number of horns). All answers are one-word, except for 12, for which I've included two possibilities.
These hashes are just the sha256 hash of the answers. They can be computed in one of several ways:
1. On bitaddress.org, paste
2. In node.js use
3. On unix/linux type the following in the command line:
For testing purposes, the sha256 of "answer" is 0db52f4076c082518412afd3dd3576e2cb0c63703fd7fed5e23ade60efef31d9

These hashes are just the sha256 hash of the answers. They can be computed in one of several ways:
1. On bitaddress.org, paste
Code:
javascript:alert(Crypto.SHA256('answer'));
into the address bar, substitute "answer" with your own word and hit enter. The popup will contain the hash.2. In node.js use
Code:
crypto.createHash('sha256').update('answer').digest('hex')
3. On unix/linux type the following in the command line:
Code:
echo -n "answer" | shasum -a 256
For testing purposes, the sha256 of "answer" is 0db52f4076c082518412afd3dd3576e2cb0c63703fd7fed5e23ade60efef31d9

I was notified that question 9 in the Bible dig is poorly structured. In this case, I will agree to rewrite the question in (hopefully) proper English.
It worked fine for me. I'm pretty sure I managed to find the correct answer. If you really feel a need to rewrite it, I'll take another look afterward to see if I still get the same answer, but I doubt it is necessary.The 5 questions that I'm still working on in that dig are 3, 4, 8, 11, and 14.

This is fun. I see that the Bible Dig hasn't been claimed yet, so I'm working on that one at the moment. I've got 10 answers (probably the 10 easiest ones), there are a 2 more that I expect to be able to find eventually. Then there are 3 that I know I'm going to struggle with.
I will just say this:
1 ACROSS = SARANGANI
2 DOWN = ...
now leave you all to get started
1 ACROSS = SARANGANI
2 DOWN = ...

I am re-visioning Buried Keys to add an interactive online game show. It will be more of a party atmosphere. The puzzles will not be easier, but there will be hints and other fun things in store. I want to make this into a contest to win bitcoins based on small entry fees. I'm hoping there will be interest in this concept. There will be more details soon.
